Heaven's Invasion

My thoughts on the real purposes for prophetic ministry. Recorded at the annual Prophetic Retreat hosted by Gary Fishman and Surpassing Glory Ministries.

We give gifts to one another at Christmas to celebrate the ultimate gift of Jesus and His sacrifice on our behalf. But what if there are other gifts He gave to us through His life lived here on earth? Audio:

Where would you like to be in your life (and have known you would like to be), but aren’t there yet? Audio:

“See, I have appointed you this day over the nations and over the kingdoms, To pluck up and to break down, To destroy and to overthrow, To build and to plant.” Jeremiah 1:10 Audio:

What is God saying to us today through Isaiah 54:1-5? Audio:

From an ebook called “Discover Your Mission Now” by Dave Ferguson comes a delightful and easy to remember method for connecting with and blessing the people God brings around you. Audio:

Jesus said that when two of us agree about something in prayer, good things happen. But why? And what if we’re not taking full advantage of this privilege? Audio:

Revelation chapter 10 reveals what happens when the Bride of Christ finally wakes up… Audio:

What can we learn from Acts 4 about how to be a gathering that shakes the world? Audio:

What is God emphasizing for 2018? Here are my thoughts based on what He spoke to me recently. Audio:

Have you experienced the full freedom Jesus purchased for us by His blood? If you believe that God punishes you for your sins and mistakes, that you are no longer acceptable to Him when you do wrong, you’re missing out on the full truth about your relationship with God. Discover how your own conscience is often your worst enemy concerning your true identity as a child of God. Audio:

Values are highly important, non-negotiable, distinctive core beliefs by which our priorities and goals are defined. Does God have values? Yes He does, and Isaiah 11:2 gives us the list. Notes & Declarations: The Value System of Heaven Audio:

How can we overcome shame? Is it possible to live completely free from it? Discover what God says is possible for you when shame is no longer holding you back.

Before you watch this video, please watch Brene Brown’s excellent TED Talk on Vulnerability and Shame here: https://youtu.be/psN1DORYYV0 I reference her research throughout my message. Shame stalks us at every turn. It is that inner voice that says, “You’re not good enough,” “There’s something wrong with you,” or “Who do you think you are to attempt that?” The first step toward freedom from this destiny killer is to do something almost as terrifying as shame itself… Audio:

When you compare how “church” was done in the first century with what most of us experience every Sunday morning, it’s pretty clear that today’s church looks very little like the original blueprint. What does God say about that, and what change is He bringing to how we gather together? Audio:

We all have needs and desires… it’s part of our human condition. And since God created us this way, He obviously knows our weaknesses and the temptations we face. He’s also a good Father who wants to meet our legitimate needs, and fulfill the desires we have that lead to abundant life and eternal purpose. The problem we have is this: we want to be the only one who decides what we want, when we want it, and how best to fulfill it. Audio:

Is your heart “unoffendable?” When people treat you badly, how do you respond? Jesus said that a spirit of offense arises when we allow our personal judgments and negative opinions of others control how we behave towards people. We’re learning how to overcome this mindset, so we can begin to see others the way the Father sees them, and to treat them accordingly.

What are the true “signs and wonders” of the resurrection of Jesus? You may be surprised to discover that they are not what you expect… Audio:

Your personal prophecies must be interpreted and applied within the context of the Kingdom of God. If not, you’ll be looking for their fulfillment in ways God never intended. Audio:

Fear has been described as False Evidence Appearing Real (F.E.A.R.), and that’s pretty accurate. Our opinion of the future… what we believe might or will happen to us, is rarely in agreement with the heart and promises of our heavenly Father. What needs to happen to set us free from fear? Audio:
